Warner Brothers

Music & Lyrics:  Irving Berlin

Produced by Arthur Freed
Directed by George Sidney
Betty Hutton (as Annie Oakley) and Hward Keel (as Frank Butler) star in this sharpshootin' funfest based on the 1,147-performance Broadway smash boasting Irving Berlin's beloved score, including "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly", "I Got The Sun In The Morning", and the anthemic "There's No Business Like Show Business".  As produced by Arthur Freed, directed by George Sidney, and seen and heard in a new digital transfer from restored elements, this spirited production showcases songs and performances with bull's-eye precision, earning an Oscar for adaptation scoring.  The story is a brawling boy-meets-girl-meets-buckshot rivalry.  But love finally triumphs when Annie proves that, yes, you can get a man with a gun!
